KAB, LLC v. UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE case for improperly seizing hemp derived CBD products.
In that case, decided on September 21, 2018, the Administrative Law Judge found that, “Congress currently permits the interstate sale, transportation, and distribution of exempt industrial hemp pursuant to the most recent appropriations act, I find that exempt industrial hemp and products derived from exempt industrial hemp are mailable.”
The USPS guidance document below acknowledges that the 2018 Farm Bill is now law, that once “fully implemented” it will “modify the mailability criteria for CBD and other cannabis products“, and that the instructions it provides are “temporary“. In other words, the USPS is saying that the regulatory framework for hemp under the 2018 Farm Bill has not yet been created (ie, “fully implemented”), but that when it is in place the USPS will further loosen guidelines and restrictions on mailability of hemp and hemp products, including CBD.
